You are going to learn about some of the best gift ideas for grandparents, which may in turn help you to win “the favorite grandchild” status and bragging rights.
This post is all about the best gift ideas for grandparents.
1. Storyworth Books
Need a gift today? With Storyworth, you purchase the product, and they will send the recipient an email right away, or whenever you are ready to send it. No need to wait for 2-day shipping.
The reason you will love Storyworth is because it sends your grandma or grandpa a question about their own life each week (and you have access to select the questions), and they just need to type up the answer. At the end of the year, Storyworth will compile all of the answers, and send a beautiful book to the recipient.
Our mother is currently finishing up her Storyworth Book, and we can’t wait to be able to read all about her life. Your grandparents will love this gift, and you will love the legacy it leaves behind.
2. Digital Frame-AuraFrame Photo
Is there anything that grandparents love more than bragging about their grandchildren? With this Aura digital frame, you can send your grandparents pictures of your lifestyle, achievements, or vacations, from anywhere in the world.
This is the exact digital frame that we bought our grandmother, and we love that we can add pictures from our phones to the app and they go straight to her frame. You can also see what photos everyone else is sending.
Your grandparents will love seeing pictures of all of their grandchildren, which makes this digital frame a great gift idea for your grandparents.
3. Legacy Journal
The Legacy Journal is a journal with page prompts that ask about a person’s life. If technology scares your grandparents, this would be a great way for your grandparents to record their life history.
There are two reasons why we really like this journal. The first reason, the questions are very thought-out and can apply to anyone. Second, the journal is divided into categories, or chapters, so you read through the person’s life sequentially. This journal is excellent quality and would be a great gift idea for your grandparent.
4. Funny Candle
Having a house that smells good can make anyone’s day. This candle is great because it will not only leave a beautiful aroma, but it will also make anyone laugh who reads it.
If your family is anything like ours, we love to joke around and tease our grandparents. These candles have cute sayings for grandma’s specifically. Be sure to check out all of the different options and get whichever one will make your grandma laugh the most.
5. Dinner and a Movie
Our grandmother loves to eat out at restaurants, and so our siblings get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant every single year, and every single year she LOVES it!
This is an easy gift idea for your grandparents that will not go to waste. You won’t have to wonder if they will like the gift because EVERYONE likes movies and food.
This gift idea also provides a date night for your grandparents, or a chance for you to spend time with a grandparent, if you decide to take them to dinner and a movie with you.
6. Turn me Royal
Okay, this is one of the cutest and funniest gift ideas for a grandparent, EVER! My kids got this for their grandpa and when he opened it, no one could contain their laughter.
Get this for your grandparent and be prepared to witness the shock, followed by extreme laughter, and then confusion as they try and discover how they were made into a painting.
There are hundreds of designs to choose from, so pick the one that best fits your grandparent. You send in a picture, they send you a proof, you approve, and then the finished product is shipped to you in a few days. It’s so simple, and your grandparent will love it.
7. Personalized Blanket
If your grandparents are anything like ours, they have pictures of the grandchildren all over the house. This personalized blanket is a great gift idea for grandparents, and a creative way to display pictures of the grandchildren.
Anytime you visit your grandparent, make sure and fold the blanket so only their “favorite” grandchild’s picture is showing.
8. Heated Massager
It is no secret that as we get older, our joints tend to ache more, and our bodies experience more pain in the neck and shoulders, which makes this heated massager the perfect gift idea for your grandparents.
This heated massager is so easy for your grandparents to use, even if they aren’t technologically savvy. This massager only takes one person, so they can use it anytime. And the person using it easily controls the amount of pressure and HEAT. Did we mention it heats up?!
This massager also comes with a cord to use in the car, for those long road trips visiting grandchildren, which can be difficult on your grandparent’s bodies. This is an excellent gift idea for your grandparents.
9. Echo Dot
The Echo Dot is an incredible device for any household, but especially a great idea for grandparents.
Our grandmother once fell down and laid on the ground for two hours before she was finally able to get up. This broke my heart to hear. With an Echo Dot Device, she could have simply told her device to call someone to come help her.
Another great use for this device and grandparents would be telling the time, setting alarms, setting reminders, and telling the weather. Your grandparents could also listen to books, control smart home devices, and make lists on this device. It is simple to learn, and a very inexpensive gift.
10. Electric Spin Brush
This electric spin brush would be an amazing gift idea for a grandparent. This is the exact one that I have, and I love that you don’t have to get on your hands and knees to scrub the shower floors.
This device is so easy to use. It spins on its own, so it doesn’t make your arms tied, as there is no scrubbing required.
Any grandparent would appreciate this electric spin brush as a gift.
11. Robot Vacuum
This robot vacuum is one of the best gift ideas for grandparents, that will make their life so much easier. It is pricier, so you may need to go in on it with some family members, so go ahead and give your cousins or siblings a call.
You may be thinking, well, my grandparents aren’t very messy, so they probably don’t need this, but you are wrong, and here’s why, these robot vacuums do a great job of cleaning the edges of walls, to prevent dust from accumulating all along the edges.
Also, these robot vacuums are light weight, so your grandparents don’t have to haul a big heavy vacuum around the house.
They are very low maintenance, as they self-empty in a garbage bag that only needs to be changed a few times a year. It is a great option for grandparents who are less mobile, because it is completely automated. You can schedule times for when it vacuums, so you can set it, and then forget about it.
12. Robot Mop
If your grandparents already have the robot vacuum and love it, then the next item on their list should be this robot mop.
This robot mop requires a little bit more maintenance than the robot vacuum, as you do need to fill it with water and clean the pads after every time you mop, but then you set it on the ground and it does a wonderful job of cleaning the floors.
There are also self-charging options, like this Irobot Braava Jet, but you do have to use their solution and disposable pads, so make sure and do your research before deciding which one would be best for your grandparents.
The Samsung is the exact one that I use, and it would make a wonderful gift idea for your grandparents.
13. Stanley Quencher
Last, but not least, the Stanley Quencher. You may have seen this featured in our article, “31 Practical Teacher Appreciation Ideas from Students,” because we LOVE it that much! The Stanley Quencher would be a great gift for grandparents.
Here is why everyone needs a Stanley Quencher, and why your grandparents would be thrilled to have one:
The Stanley Quencher fits a ton of liquid, 40oz, and still fits in your car’s cup holder. It also has a straw, is dishwasher safe, and has a handle, making it easier to hold. It is made from stainless steel and double-wall vacuum insulated, so it keeps your drinks cold or hot for a long time. This would be a wonderful gift idea for your grandparents.
This post was all about the best gift ideas for grandparents, so that YOU can be “the favorite grandchild” and assume all bragging rights.
Let’s serve!
